Ok, so i was thinking we all weigh ourselves today, then state how much we want to lose this week, then weigh ourselves again in a weeks time and see if anyone has managed it?you dont need to state your weight on here if you dont want but i will so i dont forget how much i said i weighed!

so as of today i am 10st 8lb

and by next week i want another 2lb to shift!(i lost 2lb in the last fortnight)

hello davina dvd!

OMG - I'm 12st 1.5, don't think I've ever been that much! Total loss of 2st would be nice, but lets take it slowly.

I'll stop eating the biscuits and see what has gone by this time next week and then set a weekly goal. I don't really want to diet as I don't want to affect my milk production but I'll be sensible and I'm going to swap my swim for body combat.

And I walked to and from bumps to babes today - total of one hour!

Don't know if anyone's heard of or looked into it, but the community nursery nurse that runs our postnatal group recommended buggyfit to us when we were whinging today- but then realised it clashes with out group, but might be worth looking into x

Oh jeez I am 12st 10lbs and was previously 10st 7lbs - a long way to go!!!

Just eaten two breakaway biscuits as realised I hadn't had any lunch lol - ok, from now on I am going to be better. I'm not dieting to start with but will try to eat better and see if any progress is made on the mammoth 2st I'd like to lose! xx

ok ladies I really need to lose the weight as I'm a bridesmaid in December for my sister and we went looking for dresses on sat and I hated the way I looked in them!

I've just weighed myself and weigh 9stone 6pounds I was 8 stone before I got pregnant and would like to get back to that, I would like to lose at least 2lbs by next week, good luck girls

What a fab idea...

Ok so i was 10/7 before i got pregnant, on monday i was 11/3 and will weigh myself tomorrow so im on target for weigh in day with you ladies. Been trying to do as much walking as poss and as im not BF im back on the Adios, shameful i know but they really helped me last time. Really want to get down to 10 before mid August for my SIL wedding but not sure im being unrealistic, anything past 10/7 is a bonus though!!!

Oh and another tip, i got a cheap version of a slendertone belt off amazon for ??16, bodytec or summat and i cant recommend it enough. Been using it a week for 2-4 hours a day and its made a huge diff to my saggy belly already!!!

Good look x x x

This is a great idea girls.

I will weigh myself in the morning with the digital scales, but I can't promise that I will post it on here!!! I'd like to get into my size 12 jeans as soon as possible. Size 14 are well snug on me at the moment so I'm still in maternity jeans and leggings at the mo :cry:

Brace yourselves ladies... I weighed in today at 14,12 (after having lost 3lb last week)! I was 12,8 pre preg (size 14/12) so quite a way to go. Thankfully I have a bit of height on my side but cannot believe how much my body shape has changed.

Have been eating 3 sensible meals a day and walking for at least an hour a day, also starting swimming next week.

Good luck, we can do it xx

wow, the general theme seems to be that everyone wants to lose around 2stone to feel normal again!i was 8 and a half before i got pregnant with archie and then it crept up and up after and when i got pregnant with phoebe.

i have just done davina power of 3 and i would like to let you al know that i ache already!its working!and iv treated myself to a special k choc and raspberry bar and a cuppa as a treat for lasting the full hour!i really recommend that dvd, got it as a box set with the 3 30min workouts one too off amazon for about ??17 i think, i feel good going to bed knowing iv done it too!

we CAN do this!xxxxxxxxx

Well I weighed myself this morning but would rather not shock you all this time of the morning!!!!
But on a positive note I have lost 4lb since my initial rant on Sunday. All that walking and reducing my snacks seem to have worked so far

Ohhh can I join please. We are going to Dorset for a week at the start of August & my 8 week check isnt until 26th July so cant exercise properly until then. But after those are both out the way Im going for it. Going to email pushy mothers in a minute to find out more info (those crazy buggy pushing classes).

I havent got any scales but when I get a spare 5 minutes & hubby is not around I will weigh myself on the wii fit. Last May before our wedding I weighed 11 stone. Im thinking I weigh about 13 now so also want to lose at least 2 stone. My ideal weight would be 10st 7lbs but that maybe wishfull thinking. Good luck all & well done VBaby xxx
